United States (U.S.) Supreme Court Information & Facts The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest judicial body in the United States, and leads the federal judiciary. It consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight Associate Justices, who are nominated by the President and confirmed with the "advice and consent" (majority vote) of the Senate. Once appointed, Justices effectively have life tenure, serving "during good behavior", which terminates only upon death, resignation, retirement, or conviction on impeachment. The Court meets in Washington, D.C. in the United States Supreme Court building. The Supreme Court is primarily an appellate court, but it has original jurisdiction over a small range of cases.

Facts: During 1971, The New York Times got a hold of leaked documents from the Pentagon all about the current war in Vietnam. The Government fearing that it might put troops at risk decided to use prior restraint to stop the production of the newspaper but the New York Times challenged their use of prior restraint saying that it was unconstitutional. Issue: Is it constitutional for the government to use prior restraint to stop production of a newspaper? Ruling: The Supreme court decided that it was unconstitutional to stop the New York Times from printing the paper and also decided that printing such material wouldn't risk the lives of troops.
